I can't get enough of this show. This episode was very good and a well written plot.
Fiona, a young woman who can be hanging out with other young women, or even better, with young men, is spending an afternoon playing poker with older women. LOL! Anyway, Michael's mother still wants to know what's going on with them and finds out about it by Fiona. Very touching scene. She seems to have this tough facade, but she has a good heart and probably wants what most people want: being a number one is the life of the person you love. The case was excellent. Guy terribly dumb and naive. But he had a good heart and unfortunately that got into trouble. Despite everything, I like Madeline's concern for Michael. She only wants what's best for him.moreless

It was above average when it comes to the second season of this show.

Definately not quite up there with the stunning first season of Burn Notice.

All about Andy who got himself into some trouble by first taking out a very large loan from some loan sharks, then taking all of that money and investing it into a scam, a fake nightclub to be exact.

Then obviously the loan sharks want there money back, and obviously Andy doesnt have it anymore and wont be getting it back.

Andy soon comes to Michael, asking for his help as usual and the story ends well for the good guy, as usual.moreless

Michael helps a man that was conned to get his money back and pay off the loan sharks. I liked how Michael conned him in the end. It was funny how freaked out the conman got when Michael was saying that his friends wanted the money and killed the FBI agents outside. And the look on his face when the con's friends walked in! Halarious. Anyways, I also liked the backstory of Michael's mom trying to figure out why Fiona and Michael are not together anymore. It was really sweet. . . . Overall, pretty good story but great character development.moreless

I love a show that keeps moving at a brisk pace and doesn't insult its viewers by explaining every step along the way. It's very satisfying when Michael concocts a scheme and everything falls into place at the end of the episode. The tongue-in-cheek humor was top-notch as usual, what with Michael likening sneaking into his mom's garage to infiltrating a military base. This episode was also somewhat touching, with a nice heart-to-heart scene between Fiona and Michael's mom about why Fi and Michael aren't an item anymore. Season 2 is definitely off to a great start -- can't wait to see more!moreless

Sam was once again the comic center of the episode. First in the consulate and then convincing Michael to take the loan sharks on the inside of the house. The sting after Michael and Fiona's break up is getting pretty annoying. Micheal's mom catching him stealing car parts was pretty funny. This episode has a great The Sting feel to it. Too bad they couldn't fit the Entertainer into the episode. The civilians Michael has been helping are getting much more innocent. Fiona's accent and Michael being the mark was well written. Nothing like a Texas jaw. Overall is was a pretty good episode.moreless
